2016 Fantasy Baseball Rankings & ProjectionsCatcher #4

Perez, just 25 years of age, has caught over 300 games in the regular and postseason combined over the past two seasons. That type of heavy usage is normally a concern for most Backstops but I'm not too worried about Perez as he's a true "iron man" behind the plate.

Offensively Perez has been very good over the past three years due to the sheer volume of his playing time. Salvador has seen his home run totals increase each year of his career thus far and he's now driven in at least 70 runs each of the last three seasons. In fact, the only two other Catchers that have hit more home runs since 2013 are Buster Posey and Brian McCann. There's a chance Perez will be even better in 2016 as he posted a .270 BABIP last season.

Defensively they don't get much better than Perez as his 45.4 DEF rating (Defensive Runs Above Average: measures a player's defensive value relative to the league average) is the second highest among Catchers over the last three years - only to Russell Martin had a higher DEF rating.
